Ralph, like me, is a big fan of new music, so when we met in Würzburg we exchanged music. Here are some the best new bands I learned of from Ralph.
MGMT
I first heard "Electric Feel" on the radio here in Germany and thought it was brilliant. Ralph finally let me know who it was. The video I linked to is for a different song and isn't the official video. I didn't like the official one.
Cold War Kids
I'm pretty sure I've heard of them before, but for reason they didn't get my attention until I heard this song.
Dear Reader
Some light acoustic music.
Gisbert zu Knyphausen
German music for those that are interested.
The Gossip
I think this is pretty stunning. Such a clean, crisp sound.
I Am Kloot
This guy sounds very British.
Mando Diao
Swedish band with a bit of a retro sound. Not so much in this song, but in others.
White Rabbits
I love the drums on this song.
Felice Brothers
Similar to Cold War Kids. I heard of them a long time ago, but they didn't get my attention until I heard "Run Chicken Run".
Miss Li
Swedish singer that reminds me a lot of fellow Swede Maia Hirasawa.
Bonus:
Dead Heart Bloom
I've had a copy of one of their CDs since college, but it wasn't until recently that I discovered they have all of their music for free on their website. You should download it.
